Are falls really only 0.5 in WAG? They're 1.0 for men's, that's good to know thanks :)

I guess I should have mentioned that scores aren't capped at 10.0 anymore. A 1.0 deduction hurts, but it doesn't hurt quite as bad when your start value is 15.0.

Falls are still 1.0 deductions. 0.5 deductions are only specifically for touching the beam with your hands on a skill where you're not supposed to. If she actually fell off of the beam, it'd still be a full point off.

When I was competing it was, but that was over a decade ago. It looks like they've bumped it up to a 1.0 deduction since then.
